Hey all!

This post should have gone out yesterday. I went to the gym and my back was sore, really sore, when I got home...so I took a muscle relaxant. Mistake LOL

So my apologies for the late notice.

Bringing the IW Discord Meeting Back

Saturday
Starts at 2 PM Central Standard Time...til whenever
https://discord.gg/EzAwQeb
TEXT based chat

I have been informed by more than a few people that the meetings were getting a little disorganized.

That is just to be expected with so many people on board

So what is the best way to communicate with each other in a clear manner?

Let's give the following approach a shot

We set an agenda for the weekly meeting in discussion on the summary post (see downpage), and on the weekly-meeting-agenda-suggestions channel (see downpage) on our Discord. On Thursday (not Friday...someone should tell that Steve guy this), we put out an agenda for the next weekly meeting.

The summary post: after each weekly meeting, we put out a post on Steemit going over the main points of the meeting...if someone feels their point was lost and not included in the summary, they should feel free to comment that point on this post. This post will also serve as a discussion point for the next week's meeting.

Here is an example of a previous summary post:
https://steemit.com/informationwar/@informationwar/3-10-informationwar-discord-meeting-summary

I have been keeping these summaries on the links-to-older-summary-posts channel on Discord, and will do so in the future.

From the discussion that follows, we put out an agenda for the next meeting, as @truthforce did in this post:
https://steemit.com/informationwar/@informationwar/discord-meeting-04-06-what-would-you-like-to-add-to-the-agenda

Today, I created the following channels:

• weekly-discord-meeting
• weekly-meeting-agenda-suggestions

We will have the weekly meeting in the "weekly-discord-meeting" channel set aside for it, which will leave the "general" channel open for side discussion

The "weekly-meeting-agenda-suggestions" is open at all times to suggest agenda items.

During the meeting, one person will be a moderator, who has the unsocial task of making sure we stick to agenda

This weekend's meeting agenda

Because we have been busy or gone, we have let these meetings slip a bit.

Therefore there is not a set agenda for this meeting...HOWEVER...I am going to mod the meeting.
I will lead the discussion and change points when necessary

There are a couple of things I will be looking at:

• whether this format works or not
• community reaction to this format
• agenda suggestions for next week or down the road
• IF I get the time, I will be looking at older agendas/summaries and discuss them
